I am a consultant gynaecologist with 25 years’ experience. I have performed many gynaecological surgeries developing surgical skills before a passion for women’s health which led me to pursue postgraduate training and specialisation in the UK.

I have developed a keen interest in minimal access gynaecology and underwent training in laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery by experts in the field including two years in advance laparoscopic endometriosis centre.

I have obtained my medical degree from University of Science and Technology in Kumasi, Ghana. I then completed my specialist training leading to CCT (Certificate of completion of training) under the Yorkshire Deanery after training in various hospitals in London and across Yorkshire including Leeds Teaching Hospital, Hull and East Yorkshire Teaching Hospital, York Teaching Hospital Foundation Trust and Harrogate Foundation NHS Trust.

I was initially appointed as a locum consultant obstetrician gynaecologist at St Mary’s Hospital in Manchester in 2014. In 2015 I moved to take up a substantive post in Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust where I specialise in minimal access gynaecology and menstrual and the management of menopause.

I have a special interest in minimal access gynaecology, menstrual disorders and the menopause at The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust and hold an Honorary Senior Lecturer post at the University of Leeds. I am the Clinical Governance Lead for Gynaecology.

I am a keen teacher of gynaecological surgery. I have an honorary senior lecturer at the University of Cape Coast Medical School, Ghana. I am the supervisor for senior trainees who undergo the advanced training module (ATSM) offered by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG). I regularly teach at various gynaecological courses.
